Out-of-Context Quote: The Witch Who Trades with Death
Every Alongi book needs at least one sarcastic smartass. For TWWTWD, that's Haz, who--like main character Khana--is a DV survivor. (His ex's name is Bhayana. She's a bitch.)
In this scene, Haz is having a chat with Sava (who's crushing and being crushed on by Khana) and Athicha (Sava's best friend):
“You can grieve yourself,” Sava said quietly. “The person you were before Bhayana got her claws into you. That’s worth crying over."
Haz looked away. “How did we get from me teasing you about your obvious crush to you both making me feel feelings? I’m outnumbered. This is unfair.”
The Witch Who Trades with Death comes out March 11. You can preorder it here.

Quick question about the pronunciation of some names, specifically the 'kh' and 'bh' in Khaya and Bhayana. Is the 'kh' pronounced like a hard 'h' (similar to the Russian letter 'х') or is it more guttural, like the Arabic خ? And for 'bh', does it sound like a 'v' as in Gaelic, or is it simply the combined sound of 'b' and 'h', as in 'abhorrent'? Or is it literally just 'k' and 'b' with extra steps? I'm a huge language nerd (if it wasn't already obvious), I just wanna know how to properly pronouce stuff😅
Silent h. Like Christina.
Awww, i feel bad for Haz :)
